Imagine the Change You Want to Create

This is one of the exercises I use with my coaching clients to help them get clarity

on the detail of the change they want to create in their lives. This is really useful when they come to me knowing they want to drive change but they're not sure exactly what that change is.

I ask them to imagine that they are fast forwarded to the time in the future where they have achieved that change. It might be months or years from now, but they are comfortably in that new future life. Then I ask them to take 30-40 mins to write a letter from their future self to their best friend and describe what's happening in their life. Get really detailed, get excited about describing where you are, what you're doing and how it makes you feel. Talk about what excites you and what you're grateful for and what your new life makes possible.

This exercise helps create clarity around the change that needs to happen in order for you to create your new life. And it also provides fantastic motivation for you to take the first steps towards that change.

I hope this is useful, if you want to go deeper get in touch, I'd love to hear from you.
